Running with Power - Getting Started

    What's in Part 3?

    This is Part 3 of the book Running with Power – Getting Started.

    Because running power is still quite new, it’s difficult to set things up to minimise manual interventions and to avoid problems later on.

    This part aims to get you up and going quickly. It’s online (rather than in the book) because these settings are likely to change often, and because you’ll probably only use the information while getting started.

    Part 3:

    • covers settings for watch and power meter combinations, including settings that apply to every combination and settings specific to the combination.

    • covers the setup of popular apps, including setting up the app to app connections and using the apps for individual workouts or to review multi-workout metrics.

    The pages on choosing apps are online too!

    I'm curious - what's in the book?

    The book has three parts:

    1. Equipment & Apps. At a minimum, you’ll need a power meter or a watch with wrist-based power, but there are a few other choices you’ll need to make, and the options are not independent. Making a choice in one area almost always affects another. Part 1 outlines combinations of equipment and apps that will work together, along with the advantages and disadvantages of each, so that you can make the best choice for you. It outlines settings you should use (for every watch/power meter combination), and provides example equipment/app combinations illustrating how to connect things to minimise manual steps.
    2. Running with Power. Part 2 covers the fundamental concepts of Running with Power, using a practical approach with opportunities to experience different aspects of power … by running with power. A learning-by-doing approach is an effective way to learn, and part 2 contains several activities you can use to experience the concepts, along with questions to help you reflect on the experience.
    3. Setups & Configs. This part!

    I'd like to give feedback ...

    If you have feedback – perhaps something that’s missing/incorrect, or something that would improve the content of Part 3, please let me know in the from1runner2another Facebook group.
